Forty-Fifth Street Baptist Church

About this church

Forty-Fifth Street Baptist Church worships on Division Avenue in Birmingham at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, in person and online. The congregation describes its purpose as introducing people to Christ's love, teaching the life of Christ and the church, and celebrating life in Christian community. Its self-description—the friendliest church from the parking lot to the pulpit—sets an expectation of personal welcome, while sermons use large-screen presentation and practical biblical teaching. Wednesday Bible study begins at 6:30 p.m. and is also available virtually, giving people a midweek option for discussing how Scripture speaks to difficult situations.

Revelation Station provides creative Bible learning for kindergarten through fifth grade on the first and third Sundays during morning worship. Other ministries visit and pray with people who are homebound, hospitalized, recovering, or living in care facilities; prepare meals for funerals, family dinners, and fellowships; support music and worship; and run the church's production technology. The congregation's history includes a major sanctuary renovation completed in 2009 and a continuing emphasis on Christian education and community relationships. First-time visitors can watch a service online, then attend the single 9:30 gathering without choosing between competing worship styles or times.
